It also became the backdrop for filmmaker George A. Romero’s zombie opus Dawn of the Dead.

From religious leaders to company executives, from politicians to secret military elites, everything we do, say and even think is scrutinized. For thousands of years the system has been built, slowly consuming our true nature. Many are happy in their state of delusion. But every now and then a rogue appears who recognizes the truth for what it really is.

L'Apocalisse non è una fantasia distopica, non è una remota possibilità. L'Apocalisse è intorno a noi: è negli aggiornamenti quotidiani sulla pandemia, è nei video YouTube sullo scioglimento dei ghiacciai, è nelle conversazioni quotidiane sul futuro. È sui giornali, sul web e sui social. Ma cosa sta facendo, concretamente, l'umanità per evitare la fine? Mark O'Connell ha intrapreso un viaggio alla ricerca di risposte. Ha visitato i bunker di lusso costruiti in Sud Dakota.

Noch vor wenigen Jahren zielten Extremisten auf den Rand, auf Einzelgänger und weit Abgetriebene. Doch seit Corona, dem Sturm aufs Kapitol, dem Ukraine-Krieg ist Radikalisierung zum Massenphänomen geworden.

Prensa inmunda es también un repaso por la compleja historia de la prensa mexicana, desde aquellos años de control total de la información hasta nuestros días, con una relación tirante como la que AMLO ha establecido con los medios.

Mankind across the world has been imprisoned. They called it lockdown. We have been terrified into submission. Words like ‘pandemic’ and images of horror have been thrust upon us. It is all a scam. A lie. It is part of a long-term plot to control, manipulate and enslave mankind. A divided world has been brought together under a common threat and it is just the beginning. There are massive, global revolutions being created and fostered by a powerful, dark and sinister group that have directed the sheep for countless generations.

There is an elite group that control the world. They run governments, companies and religions. They have done so for a very long time. Their names have changed, their faces altered but their bloodlines remain the same. We see glimpses of their power. We see the outcomes of their plots and schemes. We see revolutions and war. We succumb to their propaganda and manipulation again and again. Most have no idea that they are under the spell.
